THE FIRST GUN TIE WAR.
An Interesting Incident-What Be
came Of the WhitWOrth Gun.

came OF the I" nIGWOEEn 6EU0s
The Augusta (Ga.) Gazette publishes
the following in reference to the
Whitworth gun presented by the late
G. X. Prioleau to the State of South
Carolina:
"a few days before the lombard
ment of Fort Sumter in 1861-Only

sailing vessel entered the harbor
under full sail and majestically passed
the fort under spanking breeze.
On reaching the city she was found to
have on board Whitworth rifed
steel gun, carrying projectile weigh
ing twelve pounds. Samples of these
shells to the number of a dozen or more
were part of the invoice. The latter
were sent as models or patterns,
from which a limitless supply might
have been cast, but the imminence of
the attack on Sumter was such that
there was no time for the work.
Accordingly the gun, On low
rosewood carriage, was by the readiest
means conveyed to Cummings Point
at night, and was erected to the right
of the celebrated iron battery of three
inch COlumbiads, and to the left of
the three, ten-inch mOrtars, which
were concealed by a redan breast
work. A deep cut embrasure in this
latter revealed the diminutive steel
piece at daybreak, on the historical
morning peering out upon the angel
of the grim fort in the bay where
Capt. Doubleday was in command.
From this gun the venerable Edmund
Ruffin of Virginia, fired the first shot
at or near 100 a. NJ, which, after
shrieking and ferOcious transit, struck
Sumter on the southeasterly angle.
This little WhitWorth was a pres
ent from Mr.. PriOleau to the State of
South Carolina, and this primitive dis
charge on the eventful morning sig
nalized the very first employment of
ri1ed artillery in war in the history of
the world!
1t might be added that the limited
ammunition was divided at long dis
tances during the progress of the bonn
bardment, and that every shot struck
Fort Sumter. The gun was after
ward placed on boat named the
Lady Davis, and did effective work IN

WHY IL II


That rheumatism and neuralgia are so
prevalent? This question has not been
satisfactorily answered, but it is certain
that these diseases are not only the most
painful but among the most common, and
some member Of nearly every family in the
land is the victim Of one Of these dread
tormentors. Ladies seem to be peculiarly
liable to neuralgia attacks, which, in the
form Of neuralgia headache, pain in the
back, or nervous pains are of constant oc-
currence. Not until the discovery Of Athlo-
phoros had any remedy been found for
either rheumatism, neuralgia or nervous
headache, and they we're generally con-
ceded to be incurable, but Athlophoros
has been proved to be not only certain
cure for these diseases, in all their varied
forms, but a safe remedy. II, in the use
of Athlophoros, the bowels are kept freely
open, its success is certain, and to aid this,
Athlophoros Pills are recommended,
which, while providing the necessary
cathartic, will be found to be valuable
aid TO the action Of the medicine. Athlo-
phoros is no experiment, it has been tested
md has proved its wonderful efficacy.
The Athlophoros Pills were originally
prepared as a remedy for use in connection
Si.h Athlophoros, for rheumatism and
.,euralgia and kindred complaints. Used
in connection with that remedy, they are
Il certain cure for either of these very com
mon and distressing dis eases. They nave
also been found to be an invaluable remedy
for any and all diseases arising from vitiated
blood or general debility. They are es-
pecially valuable for nervous debility. blood
poisoning, dyspepsia, distress after eating,
headache, constipation, loss of appetite,
and all stomach or liver troubles. For
diseases of women they are Invaluable.
These pills are perfectly harmless and may
be safely used by adults or children.

cured will be sent free on application.

OVERSTEPPING.
The Board Of Public Works Assumed
Altogether too Much RESPONSE
' bility. .. ...

AKRON, Jan. 22.-Hon. Dan. J. Ry-
ans committee from the Ohio Legisla-
ture came here last evening and re-
mained here until this evening. They
spent the time investigating the matter
Of permits granted by the Board of Pub
lie Works. on the advice of Attorney
General Kohler to the Valley and the
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio
railroad to build branch roads across
and along the Ohio canal and State
lands in general. The committee was
unanimous in the opinion that the
Board had no authority whatever to
grant permits and were much incensed
in finding that the Valley railroad
had already taken full possession with
trestles and tracks while the N. Y. &
0, was found busily at work building a
trestle in the open waters of the canal
at a bend where old boatmen, who were
present, said it would now be almost
impossible to swing boat without
great danger to the craft. An evening
session of the committee was held and
three boat captains told their story to
the effect that these RAILROADS were en-
tirely running the business of the canal
in freight and were encroaching to such
an extent that boating would be rem
dered dangerous. 1870, ...
The boatmen also brought out the
fact, which has not before been general
ly known, that the Board Of Public
Works sometime ago leased $50 acres of
water surface, used as feeder to the ca
nal to private parties, and charged that
Superintendent A. w. Hall had an in
terest in the lease, which caused him
to hold back the water to the detriment
of the canal. It was shown that so
much of the canal and its feeders are
under private lease that one member of
the committee wanted to know wb ether
any part of the canal was free or wheth-
er Mr.. Flickinger has given permits for
all of it. The committee will hold q
meeting in Columbus in about thirty
days, when all concerned here will be
summoned to testify. .... ........ -..

An Appalling Crime.

LONDON, Jan. GA letter from the
Monbetran, in France, says that the au.
thorities have been Instructed to bring
to trial the members of the Jullu family
now confined in a madhOuse for the
murder, a few weeks ago, of their sister
Esther. The story of the crime reads
like a scrap from the history of tribe
of demon savages. A miller woman
named Jallu had two sons and two
daughters, the eldest of the latter,
Esther, being pretty and we'll educated,
but very vain.
She was favorite in the village
while the rest of the family were de.
spised and Stunned. Jealousy was
thus engendered, and the family began
to spread the report that Esther was
possessed of a devil, and declared 1t was
their mission to drive it out. On
the day of the murder the
brothers barred the door of the mill
seized the unfortunate girl, threw her
to the floor, and while one of them
held her fast the other commenced to
bore holes in her body with q large
augur, their theory being that the devil
would escape through the wounds OF
hO VI Vic tOLkulSN
girl were drowned by the noise of the
revolving millstones, while on either
side Of her body knelt the mother and
sister, both praying loudly for the sue
cess of the operation. #'3 y
Four holes in all were bored, one in
the forehead, one in the breast, and
one in each thigh, and the brothers
were proceeding to submit the feet to
the same brutal operation when the
victim, with one terrible shrek, sud
denly expired. Alarmed at the result
of their superstition, the family con
cealed the body. Several days latel
the residents of the village went to the
mill to make inquiries concerning hel
failure to show herself in her accus
toned haunts, but were met at the doc
by the brothers and sister, who, armeC
with hatchets, threatened to murde
the first one that approached. Th'
gendarmes were then summoned, ant
the murderers seized and taken to tn,
mad house. The physicians, however
report that they are of sound mind
and their conviction and execution a
an early date are therefore among the
certainties. ..e ...

Even the most diligent champion of
the canal system will find it difficult to
go before the people of Ohio and urge
an outlay Of money every year to keep
up a system of loss for the sake ofsenti-
ment. 1t has been suggested by one of
the best students of State finances, that
for the State to sell Off unproductive
portions of the canal including the Gin
cinnati end, would be wise, because
thereby the State treasury would be
replenished, and the tax rate kept low
er, or at least kept at its present limits.
Unless therr is some relieftheIState will
again go bankrupt. There are some
members who, accepting this view of
the question, are inclined to vote for
the Graydon Belt Railway bill, which
would probably, ifpassed, ,selI the canal
in Cincinnati for at leastthree million
dollars. sssNg ~ &S
But the few canal advocates who
would consent to sale of the Cincin-
natl terminus insist that if the sale is
made the money must be, turned into a
separate fund, to be known as the "Ca-
nal Fund.-" and that it shall not be
used to any other purpose. r-

No Soldier for Them.
[Chicago Herald.l

William r. Morrison, who had seen
military service in Mexico, was Colonel
of one of the regiments from Illinois
raised earliest during the war of the re-
bellion. He was badly wounded in the
attack on Fort Donelson and lay upon a
cot side by side with John A. Logan,
lately Senator from this State.
Charles B. Farwell never set squad
ron in the field. When Morrison lay
wounded Farwell was preparing the
foundation of a fortune largely promoted
by the conflict in which Morrison was
offering his life.
Dearly loving soldier, the Republi-
can party elected Charles B. Farwell as
Senator from Illinois. 1t wasnot to be
expected that it would choose Morrison,
for Morrison is Democrat, but to elect
Farwell it rejected Clark Carr and Gen
eral Henderson, both veteran soldiers
and veteran Republicans.
The Republican party's love for the
soldier is hollow and insincere.
